Land Rover high capacity pickup

Recommended Posts

I've looking at getting a proper farm vehicle for a while now and think a LandRover 110 High Capacity 300tdi pickup should do the job.

 

What common problems should I look out for?

Or (being a Landy) should I assume everything will be wrong with it?

 

cheers, steve

Well apart from the usual little rust probs, worn clutch and leaky master/slave cylinder, brake caliper seizure, timing belt milage/years/condition, steering uj's. This will also have a Salisbury axle and the half-shaft splines will need looking at too as they wear out at about 100,000 miles. Not a difficult job, just more cost to consider.

This sounds like a long list but there are some good ones with 160,000 and some horrors with less miles.

I like the 110 Hi-cap too as it is a good all round vehicle and is less bouncy than a 90. The disadvantage with all cabbed LR's is the lack of backwards availability with the seating. This makes the driving position rather more uncomfortable for tall folk than it should be.

Rust in the battery box is another age related thing to look for.

As above plus rust in footwells, door frames, bulkhead (top and sides), rear crossmember, timing belt would be a must to change upon purchase for peace of mind.

 

No room in cab for storing anything (including right arm when driving!). Other than that just be mindful of what you would usually look at when buying what has probably been used hard as a commercial vehicle. At the end of the day there are many out there so take your time to find a good one and remember if it is too good to be true, it definately will be!!

I've been thinking along the same lines and a friend of mine has a nice g reg one with 300tdi fitted for sale it's had a lot done to it but I was feeling the 6.5k he wants for it is too much but after lookin around for a bit I'm not so sure as the newer ones seem to be a complete gamble, oh n it tips as well, this is it:ImageUploadedByArbtalk1427129187.959634.jpg.3ec28ce2e20c7e807eda1feede063134.jpg

I've seen quite a lot for sale a fair bit cheaper than that - but I guess the tipper conversion would add up to a couple £k's to the value of that one.

If it's done very low miles then maybe it would be worth that?
